Welcome to this year’s Season of Creation, a special time of ecumenical solidarity, seeking a stronger sense that we share one common home and that it is urgent to protect it together. Each year from September 1 to October 4, the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. As followers of Christ from around the globe, we share a common call to care for creation. We are co-creatures and part of all that God has made. Our wellbeing is interwoven with the wellbeing of the Earth. We rejoice in this call to safeguard our common home and all beings who share it. This year, the theme for the season is “Let justice and peace flow”.
